This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomonitoring of water quality is very much essential for assessing the overall health of water bodies and safe supply of drinking water. The chemical nature of toxicant is highly dynamic in environment with time and space whereas biological system can integrate all environmental variables over a large period of time in terms of effect that can be easily measured and quantified. In view of the above, there is a pressing need to determine the water quality of natural resources as well as drinking water based on the standard protocols and guidelines from regulatory agencies. It is clear that the synthetic chemicals are essential for our society to maintain the health and well being of the people. However, there has been a range of detrimental effects on human health and natural environment. In general, we need to improve our management of waste chemicals discharged into the air, water and soil environments. New techniques are needed to predict adverse effects before they occur and for the treatment of wastes. In addition, a range of social, political and economic factors will be needed to be taken into account in order to achieve success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This EPA case study describes the water quality-based toxicity control procedures that researchers used to address a serious water quality problem on the Cuyahoga River in northeastern Ohio. When the Cuyahoga caught fire at Cleveland, OH, on June 22, 1969, the river immediately became a symbol of the degraded state of the nation1s surface waters. Since then, significant efforts have been made to improve the Cuyahoga River1s water quality. The objective of this study is to provide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program managers, NPDES permit writers, and water quality specialists with an example of how toxicity testing can be used to address pre-identified toxic water quality problems. Charts and tables.

Download or read book Application of an Automated Fish Biomonitoring System at Old O Field for Continuous Acute Toxicity Effluent Monitoring written by Tommy R. Shedd and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Automated Fish Biomonitoring System was developed by the U.S. Army Biomedical Research and Development Laboratory (USABRDL) to identify developing toxic conditions in water by continuously monitoring the ventilation and movement patterns of the bluegill (Lepomus macrochiris). Physiological stress to the bluegills, characterized by changes in fish ventilation and movement patterns, is used as an early warning to identify developing acute toxicity of a treated groundwater (effluent) discharge at Old 0-Field, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. An IBM compatible personal computer continuously monitors and records ventilatory rate, ventilation depth, cough rate, and whole body movement of up to 32 fish simultaneously. Monitoring begins with 16 fish held in control water for a three-day acclimation period followed by four days of baseline data collection. The fish are then divided into two groups (8 fish in control water and 8 fish in effluent). During the subsequent continuous exposure to effluent, the computer provides immediate analysis of statistically significant departures from baseline conditions for fish in the control and effluent-exposed groups. After two weeks exposure to effluent, new fish are placed on-line to continue monitoring the effluent. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 3 included the automated fish biomonitoring system in a Record of Decision for the discharge of the effluent to the Gunpowder River. The Automated Fish Biomonitoring System has been integrated with the Groundwater Treatment Facility at Old 0-Field. When the monitoring system identifies a potentially toxic effluent (6 fish responding to the effluent), an effluent sample is automatically collected for chemical analysis, a remote monitor in the treatment facility control room identifies the problem to the facility operators, and the discharge is diverted to storage tanks until the problem is resolved.
